NATIONSTATES VERSION WILL BE PLACED HERE SOON
Resting in Peace
Validity: atleast a reasonable economy, must not ban cars
Description:Truck drivers are complaining that designated highway rest areas are always full. Many have taken to parking by the roadside.
OPTION 1
"Reckless parking can cause deadly accidents -- for example, two nights ago a car collided with an articulated truck parked on the highway ramp, causing a four car pile up and five casualties." reports patrol officer @@RANDOMNNAME@@, "While that driver was prosecuted for vehicular manslaughter, there ought to be stricter punishments for bad parking of this sort even if no accident ensues. Increase the police budget, and empower us to issue punitive on-the-spot penalty notices, and we'll end this problem once and for all."
EF Hyperactive patrol officers are to blame for the soaring truck transport costs
OPTION 2
"Why do you put the blame on others?" asks @@RANDOMNAME@@, driver of the articulated truck, "Bureaucrats have been aware of this problem but failed to take action, this is nothing more than governmental negligence. The road network hasn't been upgraded for ages! Expand the network -- and build more parking spaces at designated rest areas for me and my colleagues. Solves all of our problems, right?"
EF The government is losing money 'hand over fist' on government liability cases
OPTION 3A - METRICISM
“People should buy more local produce instead” suggests @@RANDOMNAME@@, from the organisation Kilometer for Thought, “My organisation proposes to implement a kilometer tax for cargo trucks – every truck must carry an On Board Unit (OBU) pricesly measuring the distance, weight and type of road the truck has travelled. Long distance truck transport will become more expensive, raising product prices, change consumer behaviour which, in turn, will lower demand for long distance truck transports."
EF @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ have gone bananas over the recent price hikes
OPTION 3B - NO METRICISM
“People should buy more local produce instead” suggests @@RANDOMNAME@@, from the organisation Mileage for Thought, “My organisation proposes to implement a mileage tax for cargo trucks. Every truck must carry an On Board Unit (OBU) pricesly measuring the distance, weight and type of road the truck has travelled. Long distance truck transport will become more expensive, raising product prices, change consumer behaviour which, in turn, will lower demand for long distance truck transports."

OPTION 2
“What else could I have done?” asks @@RANDOMNAME@@, driver of the articulated truck, “There is a big shortage of parking spaces at designated rest areas (,) forcing us to park on highway ramps, in residential areas or even in the woods, causing more unsafe traffic conditions. Prosecution will not solve this problem, more parking spaces for me and my colleagues will.”
EF It can be lonely on @@NAME@@'s gargantuan designated rest areas

Truck drivers are complaining that designated highway rest areas are always full. Many have taken to parking by the roadside.
Option 1
"Last night a deadly accident happened when a 48-year old driver of a passenger car collided at full speed with an articulated truck parked on the highway ramp.", reports patrol officer @@RANDOMNNAME@@, "The truck driver is fined for dangerous parking and should be prosecuted for manslaughter. I furthermore suggest increasing the budget of the police so we can patrol more frequently."
EF Hyperactive patrol officers are to blame for the soaring truck transport costs
Option 2
"What else could I have done?", says @@RANDOMNAME@@, driver of the articulated truck, "There simply aren't enough parking spaces at designated rest areas forcing us truckers to park on highway ramps, in residential areas or even in the woods. Instead of prosecuting us you could expand the number of parking spaces and put some street lights along the roadside."
EF It can be lonely on @@NAME@@'s gargantuan designated rest areas
Option 3 - do not have the metricism policy
"We should opt for a mileage tax instead.", suggests @@RANDOMNAME@@ from the organisation Mileage for Thought, "The tax you have to pay, for any given product, increases with every mile it has to travel between the manufacturer and the retail store. This will incentivize the citizens to opt for locally produced goods, lowering the distance cargo trucks have to drive."
EF @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ have gone bananas over the recent price hikes
Option 4 - have the metricism policy
"We should opt for a kilometer tax instead.", suggests @@RANDOMNAME@@ from the organisation Kilometers for Thought, "The tax you have to pay, for any given product, increases with every kilometer it has to travel between the manufacturer and the retail store. This will incentivize the citizens to opt for locally produced goods, lowering the distance cargo trucks have to drive."
